Your money looks safe, unless he whiffs.

That is one, long single. If Joey was first base coach, he'd have sent him. And he'd have been OUT.

You guys are simply wacked out of your minds if you think Oz should have replaced Garland that inning. Geezus.

If the Tigers have this approach in the playoffs they can beat anybody. Impressive display of hitting/scoring.

Why would you want Jon replaced in the fifth inning for gawdsakes.

IF Maggs was a white Sox still he would not have dribbled that hit to right. He'd have popped out deep to center. How's that for my paranoia/anger comin' out.

I'm amazed at how bad we've been at home the second half, at least the last six weeks or so. Maybe that out stealing will ignite us ... nah.

This inning they are hitting it where it's pitched. Hit and run. Sac fly. THey execute. If we try that s***, we fail at it.

That's why they are going playoff hunting and we ain't. They face a tough pitcher and take what they can get. We lead the league in homers. Doesn't mean much rite now.

Oh great, a hit and run.

I love home runs, but we've got to change our approach next year.

How predictable is this? First inning we blew our opportunity. I love Dye, but bad at bat. I love Thome but bad at bat, whacking it too foul. We are a suckass team. Hope the magic returns next year.

I'd agree with you VaFan. Plenty of reasons and you hit 'em all. I'd move up the competition however. Detroit pulled away from us at that one point, upping the lead from 2-3 games to 8 or whatever and we've been in our inconsistent funk ever since.

Trading Crede would be monumentally dumb. You are right, we've learned to take his defense for granted. There's nobody better than Joe. He'll be a Met or Yankee in a few years if he keeps Boras tho.

You won't be optimistic after we lose again today. We won't take 2 of 3 from the Tigers. We're done ... unfortunately.

Anybody who would boo Jermaine Dye or Joe Crede or Paulie or Bobby Jenks deserves to have a beer dumped on his/her head.

Great post by southsider. Wow. Great stuff. Calling the players quitters is pretty weak. How do we know anybody quit? To boo a team that has won this many games would really be weak. There were a lot of great moments this season. Obviously we underachieved but I think most should agree we would have been fine had Detroit simply not played out of its ass for 2 months or whatever it was. We stayed close for the longest time, then we had a bad week and they continued to win 7 of 8 or something and we were toast. This though from Southsider was the quote of the year IMO: " In reality, if a game is pissing you off that badly, you need to turn it off and find a new hobby. Watching baseball is supposed to be fun, not an exercize in self-torture. Step away and get some perspective on life." How can anybody argue with that???

"You Don't Go Brekin' My Heart." "Achey Breakey Heart" Any country song dealing with having one's heart ripped out by the underachievers.

Those are good suggestions. It's a must to deal Pods and Uribe. I'd rather ditch Vas than Fred, but one will go. Cora deserves to not return as 3b coach; he cost us big time. Walker can stay; hitters don't listen to hitting coaches We also need new middle relief. Our middle relief is without one real stud. We also need to dump Alomar and get a real backup catcher.

I'd rather trade prospects like the Yankees since we are in a new era of trying to win it all every year. It sure is nice having a stick at third as well as a great fielder. He's so good it's scary.

Keep Mark. Pray he stops giving up monster home run balls early in games.

I definitely see no need for a standing ovation. Like Tony and the others who go to a lot of games said, it's fan appreciation day and those guys/gals spent tons of money on the Sox this year. It's their day more than the underachievers. f*** the standing ovation. The team doesn't deserve one. I agree wtih fathom that Dye should get one. why not? The guy had a tremendous year. I think he should get a loud one when he comes to bat the final time. We wasted his mammoth year. Other than him ... only other possible standing Os to go Bobby, AJ, Paulie, Crede. Polite applause to everybody else. I wouldn't boo anybody out of respect for last year, but no group hug standing O to end the game. It sucks baseball is about over. Hope the winter goes by quickly.

Albert Belle quit as well.

Can't argue with a humble statement like that. We'll be pullin for ya BMac but you certainly did stink this season.

Tonight again shows how good we are ... on a given night. We can't string it together tho, as we will show again in coming days. We is toast.
